The Trend Tag (Trend Day) conference went well with only one major hiccup - my MacBook Pro decided to die just a few hours before the presentation. Luckily I made a backup to a flash card but it wasn't the latest copy.
Was able to use another presenters mac for my talk which saved my life - he was the only one with a mac + keynote.
I only have these screencaps at the moment and am waiting for the official photos t be released. The video of the whole conference will be released too and will post them when ready.
Would just like to say thanks to all for your words of encouragement which went through my head just before I stepped on stage.
And yes - that is Haruhi on the podium ^^;

What was the subject Danny?
Was it in english, german or japanese?
I'm interesting in hearing your lecture... probably has lots of interesting things to me!
Even more now that I'm taking my blogging more seriously... I'm desperately in need of as many tips as possible. It's kinda crude yet, and I know I can make it look and work better, but am still looking for information on how to.
Also, it's kinda funny the contrast between a lecture in an event on Hamburg and... dating sim screens, anime characters and a figure back. LOL
Even more since Danny is wearing all those black clothes... almost Jobs-like. XD

i worry about that too. Read someone's blog who attended danny's presentation. He understood danny perfectly fine, but there seemed to be a few persons who were a little irritated. Well thats the germans for you, some of us still live in their own little world xD
anyway, those picture look very good. i hope ill be able to see the video soon. And maybe... maybe ^^ ... someone got an idea out of your presentation danny. And we foreign (german) otakus will profit from this. So let me say a word of thanks and please continue with your work :)

That must have been quite a fright having your computer die right at such a critical time... they tend to do that alas. >_<
(No matter which brand, OS or such, most often computer hard- or software will fail when you most need it and least expect it.)
Seems like the presentation went well though which is good.
I'm curious to see/read the presentation and also to know what the conference attendees reaction was.
Because it's interesting and positive to see that you are able to make such a presentation and not only speak of technological web evolutions but also bring everything concerning the otakusphere (anime, manga, eroge, games, collecting,...) to a serious forum and audience since it is an existence valid of attention and respect, certainly since there is such a definite Internet/technological presence by that demographic group.

BTW: Nice suit, you and Haruhi make a good couple on stage.
Registered on 2008/01/04 08:32
Haha, Haruhi on the podium is win.
I wonder though. There aren't a lot of otakus in Europe (or maybe they're all hidden, I can't seem to find them). Eroges aren't that well looked at. ^^''
